"Well, I'm alive. I'm not complaining!"

"*chuckle* Evidently. So what happened after you retired? How did you keep safe?"

The black drake looks at Nelkathar carefully, and takes off, clearly threatened.

"That's my cue to leave. Bound to the blade and all."

Tasrak vanishes.

Nelkathar looks worried.

"Should we be concerned?"

Wikus shakes his head. The girl doesn't seem to understand English.

Daeron points to the four or so knives he's slung on himself.

"If it doesn't land before someone takes its place, yes, very."

"Ah, I suppose that's what it still comes down to in the end."

"In that case, what course of action are we to take? To venture out into the uncharted? Or to establish a camp here until the vicissitudes of lofty fate swing in our humble favor?"

"Kobold's got to live."
Daeron seems fairly remorseful for it, though.

Wikus and the girl look to each other, thinking the exact same thing.
"The fuck?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it in that harsh way."

"Has my tongue offended thine ears or is there another matter at hand?"

Anyone near the town could see smoke in the distance.

"Do you smell something?"

"I understand, lass."

"Uh...shall we go with the...first choice? Wandering into fate? Also, I don't think the girl understands common."

"Yeah, let's check up on it."

"So, did retiring make it any better? Not having to risk your life as much?"

"In such case, allow me the honor of calling upon some assistance for fear of barbarous creatures within this forest."
((Cue obligatory fence of text on supernatural crap.))

He draws his blade, a slim, symmetrical longsword of glass, consisting of a single crystal, multiple ribbons of fabric wrap around it and extend from it, trailing behind it with no regard for gravity. A phantasmagoria of incomprehensible images is visible within it, the past, present and future all distorted beyond recognition, beyond all pertinence and forced upon the precipice of blasphemy against reality itself. Within the ribbons, the fabric rends in and out of the present, connecting to every single other shiv to possess its enchantment, gently rending short-lived trails of magic in its wake. The entire weapon had a strange aura of indescribable nature, this marked the dichotomy which bounded the weapon itself, the weapon was not of glass and cloth but rather, the space-time continuum distorted to such a degree that it manifested in its entirety at one specific location as an elegantly designed and tastefully embellished shiv, the boundary marked not where a weapon was located, but rather where one of the fundamental aspects of the universe itself functions as a weapon.

Plunging it into the ground, he casts a spell. An umbral mass explodes, rending itself into the air in front of Lucinda. The aberration rapidly shifts and distorts into a twisted yet unmistakably humanoid form. It was an abomination, an armoured biomechanical carapace glistens, its texture somewhere between that of steel and leather. Each flexible plate bends and stretches, calibrating its configuration in a cacophony of quiet clicks. A single Eye of Horus inscribed upon the upper half of its head, if it may be called that, glows a radiant white, illuminating the screaming maw that was situated beneath it. The ravenous rift extended around a third of the head’s circumference, filled with large steel teeth, the unsettling protrusions further accentuated by the perfect uniformity of the symmetrical denticulations which seemed to mesh together when closed. An unearthly roar emits from its jaws, saturated with cathartic stoicism, in spite of its unintelligible content, it possesses a near impenetrably thick posh accent. The incomprehensible screeching forces mental images into all who hear it, said visualizations being of substance and class, that of top hats, monocles and extravagant operas. None are sure as to what the creature is vocalizing, yet one matter is undeniably certain: whatever it is, it’s fucking sophisticated.

Both cover their ears, cringing.

"Well, it got me drunker, certainly."

"My sincerest apologies, such constructs are manifestations of the depths of thy mind which I can do little to perturb."

"Well that's some gain at least."

Nelkathar wraps his tail around Florencio and picks him up.

"Let us waste no time."

The towns people are running for their lives while the black drake breaths fire all over the place.

Thankfully, only a few buildings are burning.

"I was hoping you'd show up. I wonder what happens to their souls if the dragon eats them?"

Wikus looks distressed, but takes up his trident. The girl looks even more distressed, but understands.

"Beer, ale, and sausages."
